Replace aggression with courtesy on road

Unbelievable! When I read the front-page story of the March 26 edition of The Daily News I couldn’t believe what I was reading.

A couple was involved in a road-rage incident endangering the lives of another driver and his passengers. The events were videotaped by a brave passenger.

Equally unbelievable was the fact that the man’s wife handed a pistol to him, and he fired several shots at the victim’s vehicle. More disturbing than that, the couple had a toddler in the car with them.

What message does that send? Did they not realize the child was then in danger too?

All of us have, at one time or another, been frustrated by careless or aggressive drivers. How many of us shoot (at) them for their actions — thankfully, not many. We are intelligent enough to realize that it is best to let them go and have an accident somewhere else.

Let us all strive to be more courteous in our driving. Yes, we will make mistakes but if another driver is aggressive toward us, just make a “sorry, my fault” gesture and be on your way.

If that driver follows you looking for a fight, use your cell phone to call 911 or drive to the police station.
